United States Patent 3,330,958 TILT CONTROL DEVICE FOR SEARCH TRACK OPTICAL SYSTEM Francis J. Kaisler, Ellicott City, and Adam Jentilet, Glen Burnie, Md., assignors, by mesne assignments, to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force Filed Aug. 22, 1963, Ser. No. 303,973 7 Claims. (Cl. 250-203) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A search and track optical system having folded opt cs with a rotating pivotally mounted flat mirror receiving rays from a remote target by way of concave mirror which reflects the rays to the fiat mirror, which in turn reflects the rays to a detector. A motor rotates the flat mirror and a magnet is provided to selectively tilt the mirror as it rotates between a position perpendicular to its axis of rotation and a second position inclined to the axis of rotation of the flat mirror to provide a nutating motion of the flat mirror.

This invention relates to an optical unit for search track systems, primarily for infrared responsive search and track optical systems, and has for an object a new and novel method for controlling the nutating motion of a rotating flat mirror, the flat mirror being part of the optical system wherein it is used to provide a circular image trace area in the focal plane, of a target being observed or picked up by the optical system.

An important object of the invention is the provision of a search and track optical system including folded optics in which a rotating mirror is provided for reflecting the rays received from the target by way of a concave spherical objective mirror, to a focal plane or detector device, which includes means for substantially instantaneously changing the reflecting angle of the flat mirror during uniform rotation thereof between a plane inclined to the axis of rotation of the mirror to provide a nutating motion of the flat mirror and a plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation to eliminate the nutating motion.

A further object is the provision of a reversible magnetic means energized in one polarity direction during continuous rotation of the flat mirror to tilt the mirror in inclined relation to its axis of rotation, and energized in the opposite polarity direction to return the mirror during rotation thereof to a plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation, whereby either a wider nutating optical scan or a narrower scan position is substantially instantly provided.

A further object is the provision of a tiltable rotating circular flat mirror having a concentric permanent ring magnet adjacent its periphery magnetized through its diameter, fastened to the back of the flat mirror with its north-south pole line orientated perpendicular to the tilt axis of the mirror, and includes a fixed concentric field coil elcctromagnet immediately in back of and spaced from the back of the flat mirror in a plane perpendicular to the mirrors rotative axis having an annular outer pole face opposite the ring magnet and means for selectively reversing the current flow in the electromagnet, whereby when the current is allowed to flow through the coil in a given direction, the outer annular pole face becomes magnetically north, attracting the south pole half of the ring magnet while the other half of the ring magnet is magnetically repelled, exerting magnetic force for quickly moving the flat mirror toward one of its tilted or nontilted fiat positions, for instance, to its flat or search position perpendicular to its rotative axis while reversing the ICC current flow reverses the annular outer pole to a south pole condition whereby the north pole half of the ring magnet is attracted while the opposite south pole half is repelled thus tilting the rotating mirror to its opposite position during rotation thereof, for instance, to its inclined position relative to its rotational axis, for nutating motion of the mirror to provide a wider reflection coverage for tracking conditions.

A further object is the provision of adjustable stop means between thepivoted mirror structure and its rotating shaft means for limiting the degree of its pivotal move ment in both directions.

A further object of the invention is to permit the use of a heavy current to actuate the armature or permanent ring magnet and its flat mirror substantially instantaneously to either of its search or track positions while only a light or considerably reduced current is required to hold the ring armature and mirror in either of its flat or tilted positions.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like parts in the several figures.

FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic sectional view, diagrammatically showing one type of optical scanning system having the invention incorporated therein, showing the rotatable mirror in its flat or search position.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the rotating mirror and associated structure of the invention showing the rotatable mirror in its nontilted or search position.

FIG. 3 is a similar sectional view of that illustrated in FIG. 2, showing the effect of reversal of current flow in the electromagnetic coil, tilting the mirror to its inclined or track position.

FIG. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken about on the plane indicated by line 44 in FIG. 2, parts being broken away to show a portion of the permanent ring magnet and a portion of the concentric elcctromagnet.

FIG. 5 is also a transverse sectional view taken about on line 55 of FIG. 2 showing the concentric field coil and outer circular pole piece more clearly, whereby reversal of current flow changes this outer circular pole piece between north and south pole conditions.

FIG. 6 is a detail plan view of the rear face of the mirror supporting disk alone, having the permanent ring magnet fixed thereon concentric to the axis of rotation of the disk.

Referring briefly to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the reference numeral 1 illustrates a front surface spherical mirfor having a reflecting surface 2 for receiving optical rays, for instance, infrared rays 3 from an infrared source such as a distant target. Spaced forwardly from the mirror 1 is a conventional correction plate 4, well known, for instance, as disclosed in the optical scanning system di closed in US. Patent to W. B. McKnight et al., No. 3,054,899, patented Sept. 18, 1962.

Suitably mounted in front of the concave spherical reflector 2 by any supporting means, such as a rigid supporting bracket or brackets of spider-like form 5 is the improved mirror reflecting system of the subject inven tion, indicated generally by the reference numeral 6 and shown more clearly in the enlarged detailed views in FIGS. 2 to 6.

The incoming optical rays 3 reflected by the mirror 2, as indicated at 7, strike the rotating flaw mirror 8 of the subject invention and are reflected there- Was'indicated at 7a to the focal plane 9 where a suitable detector 10 may be located having a suitable conventional signal output circuit 11. The mirror 8 is rotatably and tiltably carried by a shaft and lens assembly 12 and 13 carried on suitable antifriction bearings 14 and 15 within the spider frame 16.

The rear end of this rotative assembly 8, 12, 13 and sleeve 130 carries a drive pinion or gear 17 which rotates the fiat mirror assembly at a desired predetermined scanning speed.

One type of drive that may be employed may be a motor 18 driving through suitable gears 19, a shaft 20 carrying a pinion gear 21 meshing with the gear 17 of the spinner assembly, and energized by circuit wires 22 from a battery or generator 23.

This mirror-spinner assembly may be mounted in front of the spherical mirror 2 in other ways, for instance, by a rigid bracket structure (not shown) extending through a central opening 24 in the mirror structure 1 which could also support the infrared detecting means 10, motor 18 and drive shaft 20; however, for illustrative purposes, a flat, edgewise strut 5 is shown projecting from the frame or casing 25 supporting the mirror 2 and correction plate 4.

Referring to the details of the spinner assembly involving the invetnion, the spider arms 16 carry an annular supporting ring 26 which carries a circular electromagnet pole piece or disk having an annular channel or recess 28 in which is concentrically mounted an annular field coil 29 which is energized by an electrical circuit 30 under control of a reversing switch 31, by a battery or other DC. current source 32.

When current is caused to flow through the coil 29 in one direction, the outer annular portion of the disk is magentized to provide an outer annular north or south magnetic pole, depending upon the position of the current reversing switch 31.

The center of the pole piece 27 is provided with the concentric bearing supporting opening 33 for the front ball bearing 14 for the shaft 12. The just described structure is understood, of course, to be fixed as previously explained in connection with FIG. 1. The rear end of this shaft 12 being fixed in the center of the lens element 13.

The lens element 13 is concentrically fixed in the sleeve 13:: which is rotatably carried by the rear ball bearing 15 and driven by the surrounding ring gear or pinion 17. Thus, the shaft 12 is rotated while the disk shaped pole piece 27 remains stationary thus rotating the flat mirror 8.

As seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the shaft 12 carries a transverse pivot pin 34 located in the plane of the refleeting surface of the tiltable fiat mirror 8.

The mirror 8 is fixed on a disk (preferably nonmagnetic) or plate 35 having a central opening 36 receiving the sleeve or hub member 37 journalled for tilting action on the pivot pin 34, the disk 35 being clamped between the annular shoulder 38 and the nut 39 and is thus rotated by the shaft 12.

The hub or sleeve 37 is extended axially toward lens member 13, as indicated at 40, and carries two set screw stop members 41 and 42 at diametrically opposite sides of the extension 40, in a plane perpendicular to the pivotal axis of the hub member 37 on the pivot pin 34.

The stop 41, as seen in FIG. 4, limits the return of the mirror 8 from the tilted position seen in FIG. 3 to its nontilted position in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 12, as seen in FIG. 2, while the adjustable stop 42 limits or controls the degree of tilt or inclination of the mirror face 8 relative to the axis.

The rear face of the disk 35 has an annular shoulder 43 concentrically seating the permanent ring magnet 44 against this rear face.

The ring magnet 44, as best seen in FIG. 6, may be of alco-nickel composition and is permanently magnetized through a diameter thereof such as 45 so as to provide a north magnetic pole 46 on one side of this diameter and a south magnetic pole 47 on the opposite side. It is important, when the disk and magnet ring are mounted on the hub, that this neutral axis 45 is parallel to, or substantially passes through the pivotal center 34 for the disk and flat mirror 8.

It is obvious that the relative size or diameter of the disk 27 carrying the energizing coil 28 and the tiltablc flat mirror 8 and associated structure could and probably would be much smaller than the diameter of the objective spherical mirror structure 1 than the relation shown in FIG. 1.

In the operation of the device, starting with track position as shown in FIG. 3, current flows from the battery 32 through the coil 29 magnetizing the outer portion of the annular electromagnet pole disk, for instance to provide an outer annular north pole opposite the rotating annular permanent magnet ring 44. The semicircular north pole area of the permanent ring magnet is repelled by the north pole area of the annular electromagnet 27 while the opposite or semicircular south pole area of the ring 44 is attracted toward the now annular north pole area of the electromagnet thus maintaining the plate 35 and flat mirror tilted, as it is rotating in the position shown in FIG. 3, thus producing a nutating reflection of the rays 7 from the objective mirror 2, covering a wide tracking field in which the rays are focused at the focal plane 9, or picked up by a suitable conventional detector 10, not particularly forming any part of the invention. The stop member 42 engaging the surface of the shaft 12 determines the degree of tilt, and consequently the tracking field reflected by the mirror as the shaft 12 rotates. The tiltable structure is substantially balanced about the pivot 34 and therefore when the plate is tilted, the energy flowing through the coil 29 can be considerably reduced, until it is desired to change the position of the mirror 8 from track to the narrower search field or area.

When it is desired to change from track to search operation, the reversing switch 31 is shifted from the position shown in FIG. 3 to the full line position shown in FIG. 2. This, of course, reverses the current fiow in the annular concentric coil 29 of the electromagnetic disk 27, causing the annular outer pole portion to change, for instance, from the north pole relation shown in FIG. 3 to a south pole relation shown in FIG. 2. Thus, the semiannular north pole area of the permanent ring magnet 44 is attracted toward the now annular south pole area of the electromagnet while the opposite south pole area of the permanent magnet is repulsed by the now south pole peripheral portion of the electromagnet, causing the tiltable plate and its flat mirror 8 to be substantially instantly snapped to the search position shown in FIG. 2 where the plane of the mirror 8 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft 12. Proper adjustment of the stop 41 can be made to limit return of the mirror to the plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft and eliminate any nutating affect. Again, an increased energizing of the electromagnet can be made to produce a quick or substantially instaneous change over of the mirror 8 between its search to track positions, after which only a low current flow is necessary to retain the rotating mirror 8 in its position perpendicular to its axis of rotation or inclined thereto.

Suitable infrared responsive means may be provided for shifting the mirror from its search to track positions when an infrared target is picked up in the focal plane for instance by a detector 10, however, such means is well known and does not form a part of the invention and is, therefore, not shown or described in detail.

The tilt angle of the mirror 8 between tilt and nontilt relations is comparatively small, about 1.8 degrees, also the change over between tilt and nontilt can be made very quickly, within ten to thirty milliseconds.

While a permanent ring magnet is shown and described, other forms of permanent magnets can be used, for instance, two half magnets or two bar magnets with their north and south poles arranged to dispose the north pole outwardly on one side of the pivot 34 and the south pole of the other magnet extending outwardly away from the opposite side of the pivot.

The principles of the invention explained in connection with a specific exemplification thereof may suggest many other applications and modifications of the same. It is, accordingly, desired that, in construing the breadth of the appended claims, they shall not be limited to the specific details shown and described in connection with exemplification thereof.
